Yes, it’s a douchey ad, and I totally disagree with it. In fact, I would be happier to see an ad for Pamela Geller’s “Support the Civilized Man” campaign. But a governmental entity has no business discriminating one way or the other. I suspect that the people in charge of the bus ads realized that if they accept this ad that they would have to accept the other, offensive to them, ad.

Luckily the ACLU is on the case. They’ve pretty much said that they will sue if they don’t get the ad on the bus. Would you like to give them all a lesson? Would you like to live rent free in their heads for MONTHS?

(h) Illegal Firearms and Weapons. Advertising that contains images or depictions of illegal firearms or any firearms, or the unlawful use of firearms or other weapons.

I don’t think that this can stand. It’s one thing to ban illegal activity, but you can’t ban Constitutionally protected activity.

And no matter what, we’d get to have a lot of fun pissing off all the right people. Does anyone know someone with money lying around who would like to fund a “piss off the anti-gunners in Liberal Chapel Hill” project? $600 gets us started. More than that gets us more buses.

Iowa Carry, when we were working to get shall issue, placed ad’s on city buses that showed two people, 1 male, 1 female, standing back to back with holstered firearms. They couldn’t say no because the gun use depicted wasn’t “illegal”. They did try until someone brought up lawsuit.

J.S.Bridges: That’s terrible. I would never (NEVER!) try to determine which Chapel Hill bus route went through the mostly African American areas of Chapel Hill (assuming there is one) and slap that photo on the side of it.

That would be terrible. It would make liberal heads go all ‘splodey.

I did notice that Oleg has a couple of ones that are of the “armed gays don’t get bashed” variety. That would be hilarious.
